112 Secrets should be kept
Heng Yu looked at him: "What's the matter?" β
"I was in front of a fish shop and saw the gentleman next to Xiao Hou selling fish." Cheng Ping looked into the depths of the alley as he spoke: "It's this Mr. Su-"
Hengyu let out a soft "ah".
In a sense, Uncle Ping can be regarded as finding someone for her.
It's just that at that time, she and Yang Fu were talking inside, and the fish seller became Mr. Su......
"Xiao Hou treats his subordinates so harshly?" Cheng Ping asked Hengyu with a slight frown.
There is a huge Hou Mansion, and he forced the staff of the house to sell fish to supplement his life?
And when he was so hard at the sale, no one cared about it, and he even had some sympathy in his eyes. If it weren't for the fear of embarrassment from the other party, he would have gone up to buy two to take care of the business.
Hengyu was silent for a moment.
That's not because of that......
"This, I don't know if it is a personal hobby or pursuit......" She reluctantly saved Xiao Mu's innocent and damaged image, and immediately changed the topic: "These were bought by Uncle Ping?" β
Cheng Ping glanced down at the Huadiao wine and roast goose he was holding in his hand.
"I walked in the vegetable market street to look for people, if my hands were empty, I was afraid that it would look strange, so I bought some casually." He looked at Hengyu and said, "This is an official expense!" β
Xu is still deeply shadowed by Mr. Su's hard work in selling fish, and Cheng Ping is very vigilant at this time in the face of these masters who seem to be full of the word oppression.
Hengyu didn't think twice: "Cuihuai, when you go back later, remember to make up the silver for Uncle Ping." β
"Yes, girl." Cuihuai responded to the next sound, and explained to Cheng Ping, who was full of vigilance, with a little amusement: "The money brought out today has been used up, Uncle Ping can rest assured, the girl will not repay the debt." β
Cheng flattened his tone slightly, and handed the thing to Cui Huai.
"No need, Uncle Ping will stay for dinner that night." Heng Yu said a word, and then lifted his skirt and got into the carriage.
ββ¦β¦ I didn't mean to buy it for myself! Cheng Ping explained.
He, an old man, doesn't buy wine or meat, what else can he buy?
"I understand, of course Uncle Ping didn't buy it for me, it's me who honors Uncle Ping." Before Hengyu entered the carriage, he turned back to him and said with a smile.
Cheng Ping's cheeks twitched when he heard this.
Honor?
Filial piety to poison him, but he is really filial to death!
On the way back to the Hou Mansion, Heng Yu sat in the carriage without saying a word, closing his eyes as if he was recuperating, but a closer look showed that his eyebrows and eyes were full of thoughts, and he did not relax for a moment.
Cheng Ping followed her back to the guest house with wine and meat, and when he saw that Hengyu was going to the study, he suddenly said, "I have something to say-"
Heng Yu looked back at him: "Then Uncle Ping come in with me." β
Cheng Ping nodded.
"I want to go to Youzhou again a year ago."
After the door of the study was closed, Cheng Ping said.
Since he sold himself, no, poisoned, Youzhou has been running back and forth several times, just to monitor and detect signs of those people's activities.
But it was Heng Yu's persecution before, and this time he took the initiative to go, and it was the first time.
Seeing that Hengyu looked at him with some surprise, Cheng Ping frowned and explained: "Although Yingzhou City is heavily fortified, it is really strange that these people have been guarding Youzhou, just in case, it is better to explore it again - I don't want to be sent out by you again during the Chinese New Year." β
Heng Yu showed a smile and nodded: "Then it's hard Uncle Ping, if they still haven't moved, we can also have a peaceful New Year." β
"Well, I'll leave tomorrow."
After all, you have to finish eating the roast goose.
"Okay, Uncle Naping went early, and there are seven days to Chinese New Year's Eve, just in time to come back for the New Year." Hengyu said with a smile: "I will also prepare soju and roast goose for you then." β
Cheng Ping: "......"
I said that I didn't buy it for him on purpose!
"Gone." Cheng Ping turned around with a tense face.
A girl's serious voice came from behind him: "Uncle Ping, be careful all the way." β
"You don't need to say it." Cheng Ping responded angrily and walked out of the study.
After he left, until dark, Hengyu did not come out of the study.
Cuihuai grinded and grinded the ink on the side, watching her girl try to draw one landscape after another, but she stopped writing halfway through the painting, and sometimes meditated, Cuihuai was inevitably confused.
"Girl, what do you want to draw?" Seeing that the girl seemed to have given up for the time being, she dropped the pen, and Cui Huai asked out loud.
"A landscape painting painted by Ah Weng...... Heng Yu muttered, bowing his head a little tiredly, closing his eyes and supporting his forehead with his palm, with a long-lost sense of anxiety and frustration in his heart: "How can I be so stupid, I can't even remember the slightest......"
Today's gain, should have been happy, after all, it was confirmed that the white divine doctor was still alive.
But after thinking about it, although Doctor Bai was alive eight years ago, it has been eight years, will it be ......?
She put forward this conjecture when she was at the fish shop, and she and Yang Fu were silent at that time.
However, people must still look for it.
And it must be ...... as soon as possible
According to what Doctor Yan said before, Xiao Mu only had one month left at most......
For a month, she was already very nervous to find someone, but she couldn't figure it out at the moment.
The painting that Ah Weng gave to the White Divine Doctor back then is the only clue and opportunity now!
"Girl stupid? If the girl is still stupid, the servants will be killed by a headlong hit. Cui Huai laughed and said softly: "Girl, don't worry, some things are more and more chaotic...... You've been drawing for a long time, take a break with a cup of hot tea, and rub your wrist for you. If you calm down, you might just remember. β
She handed a cup of tea to Hengyu, who raised her face and took it.
At this time, Ji Ji's voice came from outside the door: "Girl, Mrs. Xiao has sent someone to invite you to dinner together-"
"Girl, go, people have the strength to think about things when they are full." Cuihuai said with a smile.
Heng Yu cleaned up a little and went to Mrs. Xiao's place.
"An old friend sent someone to send a New Year's gift, I took a look at a few pots of good wine, and I thought that we would let Ah Heng also come and taste it......" Mrs. Xiao smiled with a smile on her face.
Heng Yu subconsciously glanced at the empty position on his side.
She thought that Xiao Mu might also come-
Seeing her subtle movements, the smile in Mrs. Xiao's eyes was a little stronger: "That stinky boy in Jingshi, Cheng Ri said that he was busy with some official business, so he didn't come...... No matter how blessed he is, today's good wine, let's share it! β
The mother-in-law on the side listened with her eyelids jumping.
How did the word "mother" come out!
Mrs. Xiao herself almost covered her mouth.
Oh no, one of them said what was in his heart again!
"It seems that Madame really treats Miss Ji as her own daughter!" Spring rolls said in time beside him.
"Ah, yes...... Look at my mouth, just say what is in your heart......" Mrs. Xiao hurriedly took over and said embarrassedly: "Ah Heng, don't blame your aunt for being too cheeky." β
"What did my aunt say?" Hengyu smiled and picked up the wine glass: "I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and I will give my aunt a glass first." β
Seeing that the situation was stable, Spring Roll slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Mrs. didn't say that the "mother-in-law" was "mother-in-law and daughter-in-law", otherwise she wouldn't know how to save it!
Hengyu put a glass of wine into his throat, but he was slightly stunned.
She knew this wine all too well......
It is the floating jade brew on the house of the eldest princess of Yongyang.
Although the floating jade brew is not unique to the Eldest Princess's Mansion, it is brewed elsewhere, but it is inferior in terms of mellow aroma. Ordinary people may not be able to tell the difference, but she has read countless wines, and she is used to eating this pot of the eldest princess's mansion, and she tastes it almost in one bite.
Therefore, the old friend who made people send New Year's gifts as Aunt Xiao just said was Her Royal Highness the eldest princess?
His Royal Highness never mentioned to her that he had an old relationship with Aunt Xiao's mother and son.
And Aunt Xiao and Hou Ye never mentioned it to her......
Hengyu couldn't help but think of the jade order that the eldest princess of Yongyang tied in front of her before leaving Beijing-
Therefore......
The current Dingbei Hou Mansion seems to have no intersection with the Eldest Princess's Mansion.
On the contrary, Shu Guogong and the eldest princess were both students of her Aweng, and the two had a friendship of being born and dying on the battlefield together......
There is an old relationship with Mrs. Xiao's mother and son, His Royal Highness did not say it, so it can only be inconvenient to say.
There is no inconvenience between His Highness and her.
So there is only one explanation left - to keep the secret for others.
If it is a secret, it should be kept.
Heng Yu didn't ask more than half a word, nodded and praised, "It's really good wine."
This wine is mellow and long, but it is not easily intoxicating.
Heng Yu left Mrs. Xiao, blowing the night breeze, and her eyes became clearer.
She glanced in the direction of Xiao Muju's courtyard from afar.
He is not busy with official business, is he not busy with official business?
Or rather, not just because of official business.
She exhaled lightly and said, "Cuihuai, go and ask Doctor Yan to come tomorrow morning to diagnose my headache." β
Although there is no specific direction yet, what I get today must be communicated with Dr. Yan.
"Girl headache? Then the maid is going to invite Yan Junshi now, right? Cui Huai said busily.
"It doesn't hurt yet." Heng Yu said matter-of-factly: "It's just that the wind blows after drinking, and it's the easiest to have a headache." β
Acacia is incomprehensible.
Headaches...... Is it possible to make a reservation?
Hengyu, who had booked a headache, walked slowly, while Mrs. Xiao was looking at a gift list.
"Your Highness has sent a lot of things this year." There was only one personal grandmother beside her, and Mrs. Xiao sighed with a smile: "I'm afraid it's because Ah Heng is here." β
"Yes, there are seven or eight carts...... "Your Highness has always been kind and remembers the old ......"
"yes." Mrs. Xiao's smile gradually retracted, and her eyes were a little distant.
After a while, he regained his senses and suddenly said, "Is that kid Jingshi too weak lately?" Why do you look like you've lost weight again, although you are pressed on official business, but you have either a cold or a headache for three days...... Shouldn't it be a recurrence of an old injury, don't you dare to tell me? β
Mama nodded: "Master Hou is a lot of ......."
"Take all the medicinal materials sent by His Royal Highness this time to Doctor Yan, and ask Doctor Yan to see if there are any available, and give them to him!" Mrs. Xiao sighed and said: "I am young, my body can't collapse, I am still waiting to hug my grandson as soon as possible......"
Mama smiled and responded.
β¦β¦
The next day, Yan Ming "diagnosed" Hengyu, and when he left, he was in a mixed mood.
For the next few days, Hengyu locked himself in his study almost all day.
And thinking too much is always easy to dream, and when you fall asleep at night, your brain is always not quiet.
That night, she had another extremely long dream.
This dream is unusual, but it is extremely peaceful.
In the dream, she traveled with Ah Weng in the mountains and rivers, climbed the mountain to watch the sunrise, crossed the shallow stream barefoot, chased dragonflies, and caught small fish......
The fat cat flicks its tail, and Aung paints under the vines......
The four sides suddenly darkened, and the vines stretched strangely in the dark, she hurriedly grabbed the corner of Ah Weng's clothes, but felt that her fingers were gradually weak, and watched Ah Weng's robe be loosened by herself, and Ah Weng still walked forward by herself, as if she didn't know that she had fallen behind, she shouted in a hurry and panic-
"Ong, wait for me!"
Heng Yu opened his eyes suddenly, and the room was already bright.
"Girl!"
Gigi came briskly, and she heard the girl's shout, and the girl had dreamed of Aung againβ
"Gigi ......"
"Girl, the maid is here, it's all a dream," Ji Ji came to the side ......of the bed, said in a soft voice, and wiped the beads of sweat from the corners of his forehead with a handkerchief for Hengyu.
Hengyu's breathing was uneven, his eyes were changing, and his voice was a little sloppy: "Go and ......"
"What does the girl want her servant to do?"
"Take paper and pen...... Hengyu's voice suddenly became sober, as if piercing the fog with the rising sun: "Take paper and pen!" β
